At last, we have the secret for a long and happy marriage, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. With his wife of 80 years, Edith Mae, at his side, Robert Schaum of Lancaster, PA said, it’s simple: “don’t go to bed mad.” They met in high school in 1936, courted and got married the day after Christmas in 1942. Alas, in 1943, Robert shipped out to the Pacific theater of World War II at the behest of Uncle Sam. The pair of 102-year-olds have two kids and a very happy marriage. Alas, what they don’t have is the record for the longest marriage; it was set by Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of North Carolina. According to the folks at the Guinness Book of World Records, they were married for nearly 87 years until Herbert passed away at the age of 106.
